Rolls 1-D

Breath

Charge

Stomp

Swipe

Backstep

• You still have to break the boss during the evolve phase much like Hellgaia's evolution attempts.

• When the boss reaches its 2nd evolution, it will not attempt to evolve anymore.

• Instead you must impair the boss so that it runs away and restarts at its 1st evolution elsewhere.

• After the boss gets back up, it will always do 2 Sky Attacks. It will then scream and TP away.

Moveset (New Moves Added During Evolves)

Sky Attack (1st Evolution)

• Jumps up into the air and flies back down. Annoying to dodge because of fast attack speed.

Frontal Swipe

• Single wing frontal swipe. Can do it multiple times in succession.

Triple Frontal Swipe (2nd Evolution)

• Frontal swipe with right, left, and then both wings in the front. Still has access to previous frontal swipes.

Charge

• Telegraph for this charge is straightforward.

Upgraded Charge (2nd Evolution)

• Flies up a bit before charging forward. Replaces the normal charge.

Beak Lift

• Self-explanatory.

Double Peck

• Self-explanatory.

Side Wing Swipe

• Self-explanatory.

Tail Swipe

• Self-explanatory. Safe spot is right on Frostgaia's butt. Can do it multiple times in succession or just once.

• Yoho does move during 2nd phase.

• You must get hit by 3 orbs to get the attack buff.

• Yoho periodically does a 360 spin move that causes random areas on the floor to be on fire.

• Since these fires can sometimes interrupt with DPSing, players throw water bombs on those areas to clear.

• Do not waste a water bomb on such a small area like this berserker though.

1st Phase Moveset

Clones

• Screams, TPs, screams again, does a 360, and spawns a clone that also does a 360.

Flash

• Faster version of charge.

• Telegraphed by Yoho kneeling a bit before going further.

Jump

• Telegraphed by Yoho kneeling down and getting ready to leap.

Random Fireballs

• Arches her head up and screams before firing fireballs in random directions.

Targeted Fireballs

• It's sometimes easy to tell who is the target of this attack because she just slides across the floor.

• She fires two projectiles for the 1st phase version.

Charge

• You should be used to the animation of charges by now. Yoho's charge is nothing different.

Sky Drop

• Turns toward an aggroed target, screams and flies up into the air, then drops down on the target.

• Can be avoided by just running. If you don't feel confident, just use a dash move.

Stomp

• Turns toward an aggroed target and does a single stomp.

Tail Swipe 360

• Same telegraph as her spawn fires on random areas move, except this actually damages you.

Tail Swipe Back

• Telegraphed by Yoho bending her head down a bit before bringing her tails up and swiping down.

Tail Swipe Side

• She will look at the side she will tail swipe just like Calventus.

• Yoho will then swipe her tail at the side she was looking at from the other side.

Walk

• She will walk into a straight line like a model on a runway. As she does this, rain will fall down.

Upgraded Clones

• Instead of one clone, she will spawn clones in all cardinal directions, east, west, north, and south.

• Easy to avoid for ranged by standing 45 degrees to Yoho.

• Melee can just dash back in after the real Yoho does her spin.

Upgraded Flash

• Yoho does flash three times in a row during 3rd Phase.

Rain

• Arches her head up, screams and rain will fall down.

Upgraded Random Fireballs

• These random fireballs now leave the floor burning.

Upgraded Targeted Fireballs

• Instead of a pair of projectiles being fired, there are now two pairs of projectiles.

• After you have broken the tail armor, you will be able to cut the tail the next knockdown.

• Unlike above, shurikens will not go through the body or the wall.

• You must reach a cutting level of 12 to cut the tail.

• You may use a corrosion bomb and 4 grey shurikens to cut the tail, or 4 blue shurikens.

• After the tail is cut, the boss will be unable to use certain moves. After it TPs, you will do this all over again.

• Experienced players would just not cut the tail because the boss would never TP away if it wasn't cut.

• Periodically, Heavy Nakra will go through powerup charging phases as indicated below in the video.

• You will see an electric charge starting near his tail going down to the center.

• Each electric charge that reaches the center powerups the boss up to a max of 3 powerups.

• Each powerup gives Nakrasena access to more moves.

• To interupt these powerup phases, you must use your impairment skills on the boss.

• A successful impairment during this phase does not count as a natural knock for bomb or cut.

• The boss takes less damage during this charging phase until it finishes or gets back up from the break.

• If an electric charge has reached his center, he keeps his powerup even after you impair him.

• This counter carries over to the next powerup phase up to a maximum of 3 powerups.

• On his 3rd successful electric charge, he will use an AoE outwards.

• If you know you won't be able to break the 3rd charge in time, just run away.

• After this, he will no longer do anymore of his powerup phases. This resets after TP.

Thunder

• Same telegraph as the powerup move. Easily dodgeable.

Upgraded Side Claw

• His side claw swipe is upgraded. He gathers an electric charge at his claw then swings it to the side.

2nd Powerup Moves

Bongos

• Does the drums/bongos before calling down lightning AoE.
• Unlike T2 Nakra, the safe spot for T4 Nakra is directly behind the bosses' hind legs.

3rd Powerup Moves

Burrow

• Burrows into the ground and spawns 5 scorpions. The boss doesn't chase you.
• Recommended method of dealing with the scorpions is running together to the left or right.
• This gives you a wider view and lets you gather them up so you can AoE them all down.
• If you don't kill the scorpions in time, they will eventually have an electric AoE surrounding themselves.
• Getting hit by these will chain paralyze and damage you.

Upgraded Bongos

• Same telegraph as regular bongos. Only addition is that 8 electric AoE's are spawned.
• Same safe spot as regular bongos.

General Moveset

Breath

• The boss may do a pair of breaths, or back to back breaths.
• Getting hit by these breaths apply a slow stack and burns most of your mana.

• Charge one time.

• Warlords can cancel the charge by taunting.

Side Tail Slam

• The boss tilts to the side before bringing down his tail to the other.

Leap

• Leaps, does a somersault and lands at another location.

Jump

• Same as T2 Nakrasena.

Side Claw Swipe

• Same as T2 Nakrasena.

Frontal Claw Swipe

• Same as T2 Nakrasena.

Guardian Raid T4-2: Lava Chrome

Clips from:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpTc1tHePCU

Just right click the YouTube video and click loop to get it to behave like a GIF.

Recommended Team Setup

Bard | Destroyer

Heavy Impairment

Destruction + Penetration Skills

Recommended Items

Corrosion Bomb | Destruction Bomb | Whirlwind Bomb

General Battle Mechanics

• Lava Chromanium operates almost the same way as regular Chromanium.

• You must still break its armor, but both destruction and penetration skills work on its armor.

• Consider using a corrosion bomb before having your party apply any parts destruction effects.

• Lava Chromanium does not inherit the "must break armor to start dealing normal damage" mechanic.

• Every time Lava Chromanium runs, you must break its armor all over again.

• When the bosses armor is still intact, the boss will periodically call down meteors every ~18 seconds.

• The meteors knock you down and deal a decent amount of damage.

• After breaking the bosses armor, the boss will run away after ~3 minutes.

• To prevent the boss from running away during this time, you must knock the boss.

• Knocking the boss makes it so the 2nd and 3rd knock become easier.

• The boss will always run shortly after the 3rd knock. (Unconfirmed, I need more info)

• The boss takes extra damage when knocked just like regular Chromanium.

• Because the boss doesn't run away unless the armor breaks, sometimes teams would just bring full damage team comps with few parts destruction skills to DPS the turtle down.

• The boss will periodically spawn volcanoes.

• Usually teams only kill one volcano to make sure they have room to DPS as referenced below in the video.

• Teams may sometimes use a whirlwind bombs or ults to hit both the volcano and boss to not lose DPS.

• If you opt to not kill at least 1 volcano, make sure to drag the boss out.

• The volcanoes will spew rain around itself after a time.

• The volcanoes will explode after a time. Make sure you're not near the volcano when it happens.

• It has a large explosion radius as you can see in the below video.

• At around 30% health, the boss will periodically use an AoE flame that spreads outwards.

Moveset

Rain

• This move is only used when the boss still has its armor. Burrows into the ground and then uses rain.

• The boss may use this move after a "lunge forward - turn body slam" chain or after a single lunge forward.

• While the boss may not always burrow after these attacks, the burrow is always preceded by these attacks.

Flame Breath (2 Types)

• The boss telegraphs this by gathering air and by "sliding" to its aggroed target before using the attack.

• The attack zone covers a 180 degree cone.

• This flame breath is also telegraphed by gathering air and "sliding" to its aggroed target.

• Instead of covering a 180 cone, it covers a straight line.

Body Slam (3 Types)

• Frontal body slam.

• Side body slam.

• Turns and jumps while doing a body slam.

Cannon

• Single cannon shot AoE.

Bombardment

• Multiple small AoEs.
